Despite the growing attention to corporate governance and ethics, many organizations pay little attention to software compliance and consider it to be an inconvenience. That is, until the software police come knocking on the door with a court order in their hand to seek out illegal software. Think it won't happen to you?

Digital rights management (DRM) refers to protecting ownership/copyright of electronic content by restricting what actions an authorized recipient may take in regard to that content.

Cyberterrorism?
In an attempt to define cyberterrorism more logically, a study is made of definitions and attributes of terrorism and terrorist events. From these attributes a list of attributes for traditional terrorism is developed. This attribute list is then examined in detail with the addition of the computer and the Internet considered for each attribute. Using this methodology, the online world and terrorism is synthesized to produce a broader but more useful assessment of the potential impact of computersavy terrorists. Most importantly, the concept of traditional cyberterrorism, which features the computer as the target or the tool is determined to be only a limited part of the true risk faced.
